Are you Man-hattan enough?

Are You Man-hattan Enough? is a bold, fiery twist on the classic Manhattan that pairs equal parts rich añejo tequila and smoky artisanal mezcal with the sweet, botanical depth of rosso vermouth. Stirred to a perfect chill with a punchy splash of chili liqueur, this boozy, spirit-forward nightcap is strained into a pre-chilled coupe and finished with a fragrant, expressed orange zest twist.

Ingredients:

• 30 ml Patrón Añejo tequila

• 30 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 30 ml Strucchi Rosso Vermouth (chilled)

• 7.5 ml Giffard Piment d'Espelette chile liqueur

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a coupe glass.

• Prepare a garnish of orange zest twist.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Strain into a chilled glass.

• Express orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as garnish.
